Melanie Eyers
“I am looking forward to Sci-Fi Spectacular on March 21 because I get a huge thrill performing music from the movies, and I have the best seat in the house to appreciate our amazingly dedicated and consummately professional HPO Brass section (they make it sound so easy!). Also, I am a lifelong fan of Star Trek and Star Wars, and I am looking forward to working with the wonderfully talented Larry Larson again.”
Sci-Fi Spectacular is happening on March 21 featuring guest conductor David Martin and Larry Larson.
Neil Spaulding
